It should be mine.
She
Slides softly
Skirting
Across the ground
A slight hiss
Fills the air
Leaves rustle
Twigs crack
Fangs bared
Poison drips
She strikes.
It is mine.
***Credit for the amazing image displayed alongside this poem goes to Marta Dahlig. I found her collection of the Seven Deadly Sins years and years ago. When I decided to embark on this project, I immediately recollected her collection and knew that I wanted to showcase her amazing art. If you love this picture, be sure to check out her other work on DeviantArt.
This series of poems was written in response to a prompt that I saw on Pinterest.
Envy, also known as jealously, is desiring what someone else already has. Beyond that, it desires to take that certain something away from the other person.
Happy Writing Everyone!

Wow, thank you so much Walt 🙂 I’ve always felt that poetry takes a back seat to my prose so I am working on developing and stretching my poetry skills 😀
